Dog and other Animal attacks can result in far more than physical pain. Disfigurement, a fear of rabies or other disease, and even a long-term fear of the type of animal that caused the injuries can ensue.

A pet owner may be liable for such injuries when his or her dog or animal bites or otherwise attacks another, meaning that he or she must compensate the injured party for the resulting damages.

Although most animal attack claims most commonly involve dog bites, many other types of domesticated animals, such as ferrets, cats, and even birds, can also bite humans, causing injury and potential liability for their masters. Even non-domesticated animals, such as large cats ordinarily found in the wild, can attack children and adults. The liability for all such attacks, if any, will vary greatly from jurisdiction to jurisdiction.

If you or a loved one has been bitten by a dog or another animal, it's very important that you contact a Personal Injury Attorney so you can make sure your rights are protected and any gross negligence be pursued.
